Recently figured out a potential bait set for azelf Azelf @ Life Orb /Choice Band Ability: Protean Tera Type: Psychic EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe Naive Nature - Play Rough - Drain Punch - Thunderbolt/Flamethrower - U-turn The overall point of this set is to bait out spdef walls...

I've been thinking about belly drum, specifically what it will be like post-luna and potentially post-triage if/when either such instance occurs, So I decided to make a spreadsheet of some sample matchups to show what each can and can't do the bdrum users I believe to be most notable besides...

been mostly messing around with HOme, i have some thoughts on teams now that they have field testing (current version team ive been using) https://pokepast.es/1a340983198442ab ursaluna: belly drum triage doubters in shambles, this thing is chaos, this thing does stuff even yama couldnt do...

I made a previous post about triage ursaluna, since then i have refined the sets to be way better and the one made to kill scream tail actually does now (wow!) Ursaluna @ Sitrus Berry Ability: Triage Tera Type: Ground EVs: 116 HP / 252 Atk / 68 Def / 72 SpD Adamant Nature IVs: 17 Spe - Belly...

Wouldn't lagging tail be mostly better? not only do you keep the ability slot but you can mess up trick users

Gonna post the team ive been using as a springboard to talk about things i think need addressed Kingambit @ Leftovers Ability: Well-Baked Body Tera Type: Dark EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe Adamant Nature - Kowtow Cleave - Sucker Punch - Iron Head - Swords Dance Corviknight @ Leftovers...

dnite already beats corv with aerialate, galvanize isnt really helping here

so dragonite for the longest time it was considered fine partly based on the assumption that it was walled by corv and now thats shown to not be the case except for fluffy corv if dnite doesnt run a fire move in addition, hatterne doesnt even ohko always 252+ SpA Life Orb Triage Hatterene...

glaceon is not real and idk if non-tinted garde is either

setup corv (stamina counting) can still beat these sets yeah, and i still stand by my statement that setup corv is a perfectly good set, but i was under the assumption that dnite couldnt break brave bird defog corv without SE coverage to which i was apparently wrong

I would officially like to retract my previous statements about corv being able to effectively wall dnite, that was before i saw people on ladder running rocky helm/lefties on dnite which defog brave bird corv cant beat and doesnt rely on matchup luck like trying to hit corv with a SE coverage...

setup corv is anything but sub-optimal, its crazy good and id recommend it for teams that already have another form of hazard removal and i checked the replays, if you let your corv get para'd yeah it gets broken by dnite but i dont think that gameplan is reliable

dnite can only break corv if its para'd or dnite has the right coverage, that thunder punch calc doesnt work against volt absorb or fluffy, it needs thuner punch for wbb, fire punch for volt absorb, and flamethrower/fire blast for fluffy, and if you guess wrong you get walled, and its boned...

Gonna share a set I've been cooking Zoroark-Hisui @ Choice Scarf Ability: Protean Tera Type: Normal EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Hasty Nature - Grass Knot - Knock Off - U-turn - Sludge Bomb/Focus Blast/Flamethrower/Psychic/Will-O Alt EVs: 48 Atk / 208 SpA / 252 Spe Grass knot lets it act as...

found out about this yesterday too, except you are missing one thing... replace icicle crash with icicle spear now you still have insane coverage with glaive rush+eq, but also you have a move with a high freeze chance for setup opportunities freeze dry bax is still good without the freeze...

I feel like feinting is better when you use an already good ability, like all the steel types are already doing with wbb/ee (or wbb/va with corv)

you assume houndstone actually needs web/terrain/weather support to sweep, while those help scarf supreme overlord is perfectly capable of reverse 6-0ing teams that lack a hard answer (ting liu, tusk, sucker punch, your own scarf), and if tusk ever goes that would just be one less answer
